China's TikTok facing probe over how it markets to children
China's TikTok is being targeted by a group of states seeking to determine whether the social media platform is being improperly marketed to children. The states are investigating how the ByteDance Ltd-owned TikTok promotes itself to younger users, including techniques to increase time spent on the platform and frequency of use, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said Wednesday. She is co-leading the probe with California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, Tennessee and Vermont.
